Description of Bergamot Essential Oil Organic

The scent of Bergamot essential oil is rich, with a fruity top note, followed by a herbaceous and balsamic odor. The color of the oil fades as it exposed to air, and particularly light. It eventually turns yellow or pale olive-brown. Bergamot essential oil is cold pressed from the peel of the bergamot fruit. The fruit originates from an upright tree which grows up to 12m (39ft) in height Italian folklore claims the tree was brought by Columbus from the Canary Islands during his travels

Safety information for Bergamot Essential Oil Organic

SPECIFIC SAFETY INFORMATION:

Bergamot essential oil is known to be photo-toxic when applied to the skin. Avoid exposure to the sun or sunbed rays for 12 hours after applying to the skin(massage, lotion, or bath). See The Complete Guide to Aromatherapy by Salvatorre Battaglia, Second edition published by The International Centre of Holistic Aromatherapy in 2003 page 170

GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION:

(1) Store essential oils in colored glass (we suggest amber). Keep them out of sunlight, tightly capped. Avoid contact with plastic, painted or varnished surfaces.
(2) Remember: Less is best. Using more than recommended will not speed up desired response.
(3) Do not use near the eyes and genitals, and do not take them orally.
(4) Excessive use may cause sensitization to the skin. Do a patch test before applying to the skin to ensure there is no sensitivity. If irritation occurs, wipe the affected area with a carrier oil (vegetable oil)
(5) Some Oils may increase sensitivity to sunlight - Bergamot, Grapefruit, Lime, Lemon & Orange Bitter. Avoid direct exposure to sunlight for at least 4 hours after application.
(6) Pregnancy and breast feeding - Check with your physician and your aromatherapist before using any essential oil during pregnancy and breast-feeding. Oil blends may be used in a vaporizer or oil burner
(7) Keep essential oils out of the reach of children. Be very cautious when using with children, using only the gentlest oils, such as Lavender, but in extremely small doses
(8) If essential oil is swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Have a glass of water or milk. Contact a doctor or hospital.
(9) Do not go to sleep with an Oil Burner candle lit. Always blow out before going to sleep.
(10) Do not leave an Oil Burner within reach of children. Do not leave an Oil Burner near combustible items i.e., curtains, nightwear, etc.
(11) Do not stop using treatments recommended by your medical professional. As essential oils are used to relieve temporary ailments, always seek the advice of a qualified health professional if symptoms persist. Not a substitute for any medication which has been prescribed by your medical physician.
